Nine years after the Marawi siege, which resulted in the displacement of over 350,000 individuals, many internally displaced persons (IDPs) are no longer satisfied with mere relief assistance. During a consultation organized by the Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD) in Cotabato City, participants expressed a strong desire for dignity and permanent solutions to their ongoing struggles. Jamilah Sarif Asama, a representative of home-based bakwits, highlighted the exhaustion of families hosting displaced relatives. The consultation aimed to ensure that the voices of the displaced are heard and translated into actionable government policies. The Bangsamoro Autonomy Act No. 62, which establishes a rights-based framework for IDPs, was emphasized as a critical tool for addressing their needs. Government officials, including MSSD director general Mohammad Muktadir Estrella, pledged to incorporate the concerns of IDPs into future interventions, focusing on long-term solutions and economic stability. The law identifies pathways for recovery, including safe return, local integration, or resettlement, and aims to provide access to services and opportunities for displaced individuals.
